Explaining the Unexplainable, Scientifically?

What does the old saying ‘curiosity killed the cat’ mean? Most would say that being too curious of something we don’t understand could lead to danger of some sort. No species is more curious than the human race. From the beginning of time, many have spent their lives questing  in order to learn more about something they do not understand. In this day and age we turn to science to give us the answers to all we wish to know. But what do we do when science does not have the answer? Most follow the word of an educated man or woman that has mastered their field without ever stopping to think, what if they are wrong?

No topic in this day and age, other than religion, draws more opinions and theories than life after death. In all the latest polls 1 in every 3 Americans believes in ghosts. Considering our population that number is extremely high. Across the world I believe the number to be even higher with other countries passing down more ‘traditional’ beliefs and being more spiritual. With billions across the world choosing to believe in a spiritual realm, why is it that science tends to disagree with the masses? Many people reporting to have some sort of experience with the paranormal are considered to be delusional or mentally ill. So with science completely turning their back on the belief in ghosts, why is it that the field of the paranormal is being over-run by equipment deemed worthy of proving the existence of spirits scientifically?
